RE: Registered Family Day Care Home, Provider ID RO7OR0190. Noy 9
Dear Ms. Curione:
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of that the Department is imposing a $2300.00
administrative fine against you, and that your registration to operate a family day care
home is being revoked because you have violated the provisions of Chapter 402, Florida
Statutes, and Chapter 65C-20, Florida Administrative Code, as follows:
a. You have been operating a registered family day care home at the 1476 Hempel
Avenue address for several years. Your registration was most recently renewed
on August 17, 2007.
b. Subsequent to the renewal of your registration the Department learned that you
were no longer residing at the registered address and had not been for
approximately 2 years. This is based upon your own admission during a
meeting with licensing officials on October 29, 2007. Therefore, the home does
not qualify to operate as a registered home.
c. During the October 26 inspection the Department discovered the home was
essentially being operated as an unlicensed childcare facility. There were 25
pre-school aged children present and you had 4 unscreened employees there
providing care for the 25 children. For this violation the Department is imposing
a $2300.00 fine - $1900.00 for the 19 children for which you were over ratio and
$400.00 for the 4 unscreened employees. The Department also learned that
you had a total of 35 children enrolled at your registered family day care
home/unlicensed child-care facility.

d. The Department attempted a re-inspection on October 30, 2007, but found the
home unoccupied and no one was there providing child care services to
children,
e. Since you no longer tive in th
e registered address, the home cannot qualify as a
registered family day care home and your registration h
ereby revoked.
